“I was just sick as a dog. Flu-like symptoms. You get jumpy and cranky. Also stomachaches and diarrhea. It’s not fun..in fact it sucked really bad.”
OxyContin is a prescription painkiller similar to morphine, prescribed to people experiencing moderate to severe pain. Recently, OxyContin has shown up on the streets, being sold at a high price to people looking for a new and quick way to get high. OxyContin abuse has become a serious enough problem to alarm medical practitioners and parents, largely because of the increasing number of youth who are becoming hooked on this drug.
Like other addictive prescription drugs, OxyContin abuse artificially stimulates the pleasure centres in your brain. In cancer patients and other people suffering from debilitating pain, this effect is necessary because it blocks the feeling of pain that would otherwise be unbearable. However, for those abusing OxyContin, the effect can lead to addiction, harm, and even death.
How do people abuse it?
Many people chew, snort or inject the medication to get an instant and intense “high.” Frequent and repeated use of the drug can cause the user to develop a tolerance to its effects, so larger doses are required to elicit the desired sensation and the abuse becomes increasingly addicted to the drug.
If you, or any of your friends, have taken OxyContin or other prescription pain relievers, here are the danger signs to watch for:

Clever bacteria and viruses through eons of evolution developed mooring apparatuses so they, too, can use receptor sites to attach to the cells. Without such attachment bacteria may not break down cell walls and viruses cannot penetrate and capture healthy cells in a destruction-replication ritual.
Enzymes, those catalysts without which chemical reactions do not occur, also need to alight and lock into receptors to initiate proper physiological actions. If your liver cells have too few or poorly functioning receptors for sucking “bad-type” LDL cholesterol out of the blood, excessive numbers of cholesterol globules circulate aimlessly, eventually ending up on artery walls, and promoting heart disease. Defining the importance of receptors in metabolizing blood cholesterol won a Nobel prize for Drs. Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein of the University of Texas in 1985.
Anything that interferes or promotes the mooring with receptors obviously has an impact on biological processes. Suppose, for example, you could institute a “receptor blockade,” placing something between the receptor side and the mooring configuration to prevent the two from fitting together. That’s a concept being extensively pursued by pharmaceutical companies in attempt to create more effective drugs, especially agents against those intractable 200 or more common cold viruses. Finding a substance to plug up the receptor site would prevent microbes from attaching to and destroying healthy cells. Or you could send decoys into the system. Some compounds, including some in food, have receptor sites so similar to those of the human cells that they fool microbes into attaching to them instead of to vulnerable cells. They they carry the organism harmlessly out of the body.
Scientists increasingly discover how and why the blood flows; they are defining the intricate mechanisms of clotting, which entails the actions of disclike cells called platelets that live but five to ten days and the blood-clot-dissolving mechanism (the fibrinolytic system) that operates constantly. Affecting the clotting tendency of blood at any of numerous stages can have profound effects on susceptibility to heart disease and stroke. Researchers have learned that some of the viruses and carcinogens that we are all exposed to must be activated or enlivened in the human body before they can do damage. Interfering with this activation through food compounds has exciting possibilities for thwarting both acute and chronic disease. Enzymes can be squelched or encouraged by compounds, including many in foods, thereby helping manipulate biological processes of all kinds.

What makes this new perspective of food possible is the technological ability to detect potent chemicals in foods in infinitesimal amounts and test their biological activity, as well as the new understanding of the basic mechanisms by which these chemicals can affect disease. Science cannot see beyond its technological capabilities. Many of the new discoveries about food’s potential could have come only in the last few years. One piece of chromatography equipment is so accurate, it has been described by its inventor this way: “If you threw a sugar cube into a reservoir, I could tell you from analyzing a few drops of the water exactly what chemicals were in the cube and how much.” This means that virtually every compound in food can be measured in minute quantities. Scientists can also track the flow of chemicals throughout the body, analyze the basic mechanisms of life, such as the activity of enzymes. There are much quicker screening tests for the antibiotic and anti carcinogenic activity of chemicals.
At the same time, advances in understanding the underlying mechanisms of disease reveal the grand possibilities for controlling destructive cellular activity. Scientists probing those theoretical depths run into Jules Verne-like astonishments. It is like entering the world of Dr. Seuss of the fantasy world of Epcot Center’s Journey of the Imagination, where unfamiliar creatures pop up at every turn. In the uninhibited land of medical hypothesis, theories fly, collide, unite, stick to each other to form strange appendages, then drift on, all in an effort to explain the causes, connections, and possible remedies for human ills.
Both drug research and the burgeoning field of food pharmacology strive to keep up with and adapt to these kaleidoscopic views of the human system’s continuous battle with disease. For example, it is now known that much cell activity is governed by the presence of receptors on the surface of the cells. You can imagine these as perfectly crafted docking sites, where other molecules and cells land and insinuate themselves into a perfect geometric fit – like a Rubik’s Cube coming together or a spaceship attaching to a space station. These receptors accommodate only those biological entities with a matching mooring shape. How precise the fit determines how tightly they lock together and thus how well they carry out their intended mission, which is biochemical interaction.
Myriad molecular and cellular reactions depend on the existence, availability, and efficiency of receptor sites, thus determining the state of your health. Nature created these receptors not for the convenience.

It is no longer enough to know how much protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals are in foods. Now there are “food factors, X factors, food compounds, co-travelers, desmutagens, antimutagens, anticarcinogens, and minor dietary constituents. “In the chemist’s hands, the complexities of plant and animal life are unraveling just as surely as the secrets of life unraveled in the laboratories of Watson and Crick. The quest for the composition of food is yielding new secrets of life and health. It is perhaps not as romantic as the unraveling of DNA, but it could be equally important in promoting health and longevity.
These newly discovered food compounds are distinct from nutrients; most have no nutritional value at all; rarely, as with beta carotene, they possess separate nutritional and drug effects. They are usually present in infinitesimal amounts. Although physiologically potent, the minor food constituents are probably not essential for life; you won’t instantly perish without them. Nobody ever died from an allicin deficiency due to not eating garlic. But these mysterious dietary compounds can subtly and radically influence physiological mechanisms that are the keys to longer life and optimal health. Some may actually cure disease, but mainly they are thought to prevent the long and persistent erosion of bodily tissues that eventually end up as chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and intestinal and neurological disorders – our greatest and least treatable medical threats. Unlike single purpose modern drugs, the drugs in foods are more likely to act as lifelong antidotes to that accumulated cellular damage known as disease.
At any moment in your body there is monumental chemical biological warfare going on in your cells. Disease is essentially a collection of cell disturbances, a conglomeration of cellular events that add up to whole body event. Although you do not perceive disease until you see the symptoms, these symptoms appear only because enough cells have lost the battle to evil forces. Whether your health is promoted, sustained, or defeated depends on the perpetual struggle for possession of single cells.
Pharmacologically active food chemicals can guard individual cells by cutting the enemy off at any number of biological passes. Whether you are fighting off infections, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, ulcers, or even depression or fatigue, you are carrying on that battle in unseen places by fending off tiny assaults against individual cells. How well you do that depends upon unfathomable biological activity.
Scientist are beginning to understand how food and food chemicals can exert influence against disease at a cellular level.

Food itself, not nutrients, is becoming the major concern. “Exclusive concern with individual nutrients is not only unscientific but also potentially dangerous,” says Dr. Mertz. “Foods are more than the sources of the now known nutrients. We are beginning to realize that foods which may be nearly identical in their nutrient composition can have very different health effects.”
He also appreciates the emerging scientific wisdom behind some ancient tales. Writing in the July 1984 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, he noted: “The age-old belief that garlic and onions are good for the circulatory system is supported by modern experiments showing hypocholesterolemic (cholesterol-reducing) and anticoagulating (blood-clot preventing) effects of extracts from those sources. The unproven association between consumption of yogurt and longevity is beginning to sound plausible on the basis of recent animal experiments demonstrating increased resistance against infections in yogurt-fed animals.”
So we should definitely pay attention to food folklore?
“Yes. I think we learned to recognize the good and bad health aspects of foods by very ancient experiences passed on by tradition. That knowledge is precious and serious. What grandmother used to tell us is much more than a fairy tale passed on by an old lady. It is a distillation of centuries-old wisdom handed down through generations. We are only now beginning to understand it scientifically.”
Dr. Mertz agrees that dissecting foods into individual nutrients to study their metabolism, health effects, and requirements is necessary to this scientific pursuit. But he warns: “This approach presents the risk of substituting incomplete scientific knowledge of individual nutrients for the lessons learned from our historical experience with foods.”
Scientists who once saw foods as mere collections of individual nutrients, are now vigorously beginning to explore their larger pharmacological complexities.

“Casablanca…Mistralaire… The very names of some ceiling fans evoke intriguing tropical locales,” we said in 1982. Ceiling fans haven’t changed much. Though they cost slightly more to run, of course, than they did in the 1980s, they can still save you money and save energy, even when used along with an air conditioner.
“A ceiling fan can conjure up an exotic feeling even in a raised ranched in the suburbs,” we said in ‘82. But if a virtual exotic experience isn’t enough, you can put the money saved toward a real island getaway.

The Department of Agriculture doesn’t reveal the names of stores involved in a meat recall, nor does it share them with state public-health officials unless they agree to keep the list secret. Two years ago California began requiring retailers and food companies that carried recalled meat to inform state health officials, who may then notify the public. So after the huge beef recall in February, California consumers could find out where it was sold. Consumers in the rest of the country could not.
Congress is considering requiring the USDA to do the same nationwide. The cattle and food industries have opposed the agency’s making the change on its own.
Consumers Union believes you have a right to know what is and isn’t in your food. Such information is good for consumers and essential to a free market.

In January, the Food and Drug Administration stated that milk and meat from cloned animals are safe and don’t need to be labeled. This despite the fact that a majority of clones are born deformed or sickly. The FDA claims that the meat-inspection system catches sick animals at the slaughterhouse, so only healthy clones that pose no food-safety risk will make it into the food supply. However, a February recall of 143 million pounds of beef because cows too sick to stand entered the food supply casts doubt on the FDA’s assurances.
Bills that require clone labeling have been introduced in Congress and in nine states. California’s governor vetoed one last year, but public opinion may push legislators there and elsewhere to act.

The cattle industry and related agribusiness interests seem to think that an uninformed consumer is their best customer. Consumers Union disagrees. You deserve answers to the following questions about your milk and meat:
Any Artificial Hormones?
Since Monsanto introduced recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH) to the market in 1994, some 20 percent of dairy cows have gotten the drug. It increases milk output but also increases udder infections in cows and level in milk of insulin-like growth factor-1. IGF-1 stimulates tumor growth, but whether enough is present in milk to affect human health is disputed. Consumers, however, have switched in droves to milk labeled free of rbGH.
Monsanto’s answer? Keep ‘rbGH-free” off the label. The dairy farmers who support the product have pushed at least a half-dozen states to propose laws or regulations that would prohibit dairies from labeling their milk “rbGH-free” or would impose such onerous requirements about type styles and placement of statements that milk producers would find it hard to comply. Some restrictions are already in effect in Pennsylvania; at press time, restrictions were expected to go into effect in Ohio. Efforts have stalled elsewhere.
